Once upon a long, long time ago in the marshy bad lands, roughly half way between the great cities of London and Edinburgh, known to almost the whole world as “where?” there lived four friends. Now life in the bad lands was hard and not very cheery so the four friends decided to do something about it. “What this place needs is fun” said Dimmer (who wasn’t the brightest candle on the candelabra) “What this place needs is an enema” replied Alan (who was far more pragmatic” “What it really needs is more chip shops” said Keith (who thought about chip shops a lot and didn’t really listen to anything anyone else was saying) . “What it really, really, really needs” interrupted Allan (who was always the last to add his ill-informed opinion to the conversation) “is a rock band!” . “Oh wow” said everyone, for the first time in simply yonks they’d all agreed on something. A Rock band would be the very thing; lots of noise, flashing lights, great songs and lashings of beer, (ginger or otherwise) are fabulous things and bound to cheer up a dull life. They thought long and hard about what the band should be called and after what seemed like an eternity, but was in fact about six minutes, they came up with “So What”. It wasn’t a particularly great name but it being quite late in the evening and not wanting to miss the second episode of Corrie they agreed that, as they couldn’t think of anything better “So What” it would be.
Now that all happened, as I said at the beginning of the story, a long time ago and ever since that night “So What” have been on a mission to bring joy, fun, great songs, loud music and a ridiculous sense of over optimism to the lives of everyone who lives in bad lands, now known as The North East and beyond. Their mission carries on and the next time they play anywhere near you they’d love for you to come along... and join together with the band.
All the very best, So What.
